Tiny bones, flexing membranes, percussive protection, and some fluid for good measure — our ability to hear and instantly translate sound into meaning is both amazingly advanced, yet mechanically fairly simple. Take a listen to this week’s discussion about how our ears work. Plus, the Unipiper talks all about his big meetup with Times Square’s World-Famous “The Naked Cowboy”! News discussed: The Perseid meteor shower to be the brightest in 96 years, Kenton’s Paul Bunyan statue renovation, the story of Francis Gabe and her self-cleaning house, Elon Musk news, and more train talk! Enjoy!
